Lovenkrands: I'd love to return to Newcastle
Aug 22 2009 by Mark Douglas, The Journal
PETER Lovenkrands has opened the door for Newcastle United to re-sign him by saying he would love to return to St James’s Park.
But the continuing uncertainty at boardroom level looks to have scuppered United’s chances of signing Sol Campbell, who has begun negotiations with big-spending League Two outfit Notts County.
United are in desperate need of new recruits after a summer fire sale which has seen ten players depart with only the arrival of loan man Danny Simpson mitigating the exodus.
Chris Hughton has drawn up a wish-list of targets in case he gets the green light and both Lovenkrands and Campbell are understood to feature on it.
The Danish winger confirmed Newcastle’s interest to The Journal and said that he would welcome a return to the club and a chance to atone for last season’s heart-breaking relegation.
Lovenkrands has been training with his old team Rangers in an attempt to keep himself fit and has several offers on the table from clubs on the Continent. But the 29-year-old would prefer to move back to England.
“Of course I would be interested in coming back to Newcastle. I really enjoyed my time at the club and would certainly be interested in hearing what they had to say,” he told The Journal.
